Three airplanes. One train. One ferry. One very big adventure!
Nine-year-old Felipe has never flown before—and his first flight takes him halfway around the world! With Macio tucked safely in his backpack, Felipe navigates the bustling Sky Harbor Airport, boards the PHX Sky Train, watches the Arizona desert shrink below, and discovers that even a long journey can be full of wonder. From Phoenix to Dallas, Dallas to Philadelphia, and finally across the Atlantic to Amsterdam, every leg of the trip brings something new.
